I'm quite surprised Cheney hasn't packed his bags and moved to Argentina

Funny, maybe we can throw him in jail next for actually committing a crime? I am sure he would defend himself, if the Bush administration tried to prosecute him after he broke the law and nothing happened. Just like the definition of is, this will come down to the definition of torture, one mans torture is another mans in interrogation technique. Seriously, I consider this site torture, can I throw everyone on it in jail?
Get real Bill...

Clinton is the last one who should talk about anyone needing target practice; did you see Monica Lewinsky’s dress??

After he passes away there will be many books written about this fiend. While he lives- not any.

yes Bill it is, so please go away. Join both the Bushes, and Carter, just fade away.

The funny thing is to see people still talking about Bill as if he was a demon. Most adults don't really care what happens in peoples personal and sexual lives. If Bill and Hillary had swinger parties together, more power to them.

Many of us believe in freedom to live your life the way you see fit, which we refer to as personal liberties. If no law has been broken, than enjoy your life in any way you see fit. If hillary found a way to forgive him (which super right wing nut Jiimmy Swaggart begged her to do based on her vows before god), then why should any of us care.

I am only interested in results, and what burns the GOP crew up is that the performance of the Clinton years trumps everything else we have eve known (at least at my age 35).

For those of you who think the whole country loves and admires the Reagen years, its time to realize many of us didn't look at his record too kindly. Then again, you have Cheney and Rush out there, so everything is going GREAT for your team. Get your group together, because one party dominating the conversation us bad for us all. Even though I am a liberal, I wouldn't want all my left wing people running the show, its never good to consolidate the discussion like that.

I am coming out of my secret lair to preach for something I truly believe in -torture.

Cheney should be encouraged to go on the record whenever possible. The more he opens his mouth, the more the American people are reminded of what went wrong for the last eight years.

Cheney is giving the Dems millions and millions of dollars of free advertising, and his twisted mind doesn't have a clue of what he is doing.

No it is not! Not releasing the photos of torture is the position of Cheney and all the wingnuts, and with the same trumped-up reasons, including, of course, that this will harm the troops (when the Geneva Conventions against torture were signed to protect our troops) and that, if torture did happen and, of course, it was just enhanced interrogation that may have ended up with homicide, but if it was torture, it was just a few bad apples. All a cover-up for the Bush criminals. When the President of the USA and the Secretary of Defense turn on a dime in the face of trial and appellate court decisions and ACLU court supervised negotiations, a power play bigger than the president is going on--sort of a 'shadow government' peopled with Cheney buddies.

its over dick, now its time to investigate hillary's association with Norman Hsu

Bill, you have been in legacy control ever since you left....so it's hard for anyone to take even YOU seriously...let alone Cheney.

[Jude55807]

Yet Cheney got results: he goes on talking about releasing the photos and Obama changes his mind. He got results. He is still relevant. LOL

[serindipity803]

Actually the photos not being released will be released anyway on the Internet and Cheney will not have made his case - but ours--"no more torture"! Obamas intent is only to protect the soldiers near Pakistan - because if those pics are shown publically 'rightnow' as Cheney hopes, they will incite a horrifying riot, as Cheney hopes, and torture and kill our own soldiers over there-and that is Cheneys bottom line, to prove he did right, more of our own have to be murdered.

[jesthefaxman]

02:55 PM on 05/14/2009

If Cheney hoped for the riot, he would be a total puss like you and wait until after the killings to come out and say I told you so and nyah nyah it's all your fault. He is talking precisely to protect American Armed Forces on the front end.

Team O could lock up the photos in a minute with an executive order, which I am sure Cheney is after. The release is 100% on Obama's back

For 8 years he was in "an undisclosed location" , now he has his old arse everywhere.

Isn't it interesting that it's Cheney running around defending the torture policies, not Bush?

If anyone had any doubts about who was the "brains" behind the Bush Administration, now the truth is out.

The point that the MSM is not bringing up is that the vice presidents attacks less than 115 Days of an administration are unprecedented in this nations history and customary traditions.

Even after 2000 vice president Gore went away and wasn't heard from for nearly 1 1/2 years!! I do believe if anyone should hold a fridge or had the right to it was under the circumstances of the 2000 anointment of BUSH a et cie (and company!)

Dick lacks decorum and Americans ought to be upset and outraged because this is the type behavior one would witness in Russia and its former republics - it is petty and undignified. The American people made their choice on 04 Nov 2008. The backbenchers should have more respect than this.

That being stated Dick knows whats ahead he's on offensive (Not defense.)

That was the best response to to Dick Cheney I have heard yes.

LAUGH at him. "it's over" Dick is an irrelevant failure and loser. End of story.

Boy do I wish that was right. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that's it's NOT over.

"petty and undignified" - That's our Dick!

What happened? Did he just wake up?

He was healed of the evil affliction which drove him to a wheelchair at the inauguration.
